I was wondering if there was any down time with this? Did you use plain water to remove? Did you apply with a brush? Am new to peels.

There is no down time. It's very thin and they instruct you to apply with gauze, leave on a few minutes then neutralize with a baking sode/water mixture. I keep a spray bottle of the baking sode mixture in the shower and apply the Lactic Acid right before getting in.

I recently used this for the first. i applied it on with a cotton pad then washed it off with plain water. No reddness or down time at all. I use it once a week and my skin looks great. Highly recommrend it!

There is no down time; however it's important that you don't leave it on longer than the recommended 3 minutes. I use water and baking soda to neutralize the peel first (splash it on my face for a minute or so) and then I rinse with plain water. I apply it with pieces of guaze. Good luck!

I have no down time leave it on as directed. I use it once a week I follow the direction that came with it. I use water mix with baking soda to neutralizer the process and Use sterile pads apply to face. I hope this helps.

I use dermalure neutralizer mist spray to remove it. Yes , I applied it with a peel brush , no down time , just leave it on for a few minutes the first time you use it and then see if you are happy with the results or need to leave it on longer. Protect the sides of the lips and around nosetrils with Vaseline . Hope it helps.

Water mix w baking soda must be used. Regular water will NOT wash th acid out and your face will burn.I found 2 min to be more than enough. 3 min is way too long and you may see redness that will take few days to come down.

No down time with this one. I like to use water or aveno facial bar (soap free) to rinse off. You could apply with the gauze pad or your finger tip. Always wear sunscreen after a peel.

I never just do lactic acid alone. I layer it over salicylic and glycolic peels. The down time really varies with the intensity of the peel. I don't think with lactic alone there would be any down time. I use water mixed with a little baking soda to neutralize. I apply with a q-tip.

The directions the manufacturer encloses are right on. There is no down time. I' ve had a little redness but it goes away in one day. My skin looks better

Hi Faye, how widespread is the peeling? Also how many coats of clear coat did you apply? Is the paint exposed or do u have a clear coat left?

Very. I bought a replacement when the first one I applied turned out to have a few little hairs underneath it. Just pop a fingernail under the edge and it peels right off. No residue left behind either.

It is not a literal "peel". The instructions on the insert say to rinse your face after 8 minutes with "copious" (meaning a really large) amounts of water, so it's just a rinse, you don't have to peel anything off. Good luck!

They recomend using their rose water,which does not work either!, i just threw them away and went back to using skin peels,which are very effective. I go to skinpeel.com.

Oh easy removal... I just use my normal cleanser. No problem removing in the least! This is a great SPF plus a great makeup base!

In all the years I have used this I have only used it wet. I did find it didn't "work" when I had regular facials. I guess I did not have a lot of dead skin to remove. Make sure your skin is not sipping wet when you apply just damp. You don't want it to just slide off your skin. It needs to be able to penetrate hold to get at the dead skin.do one spot at a time,concentrate the effects.

Hi Nancy, I was peeling because I used it and went into the sun and the peeling was very minimal. I would recommend using it once a week for a month and increase usage according to if or how much you may peel. The best thing is to exfoliate in the shower and then use it at night. Hope this helps!

The peeling is not bad at all. If you feel is too strong just use it a few times a week. I use it every day 2 a day. I started to see my skin a lot lighter.

I had really good luck with this product, although I've only used the peel pads. I've broken out for the first couple weeks starting other products. I think sometimes your skin just needs time to adjust. Good luck!

Thank you...was having a mini meltdown. Sadly I didn't think I'd have this reaction and didn't plan for this appearance. I did a 30% glycolic peel a few weeks ago and there was no one minute of downtime. It just made me glow. Do you think it's better to let it get very dry so it will maybe peel faster or reapply my moisturizer to keep it hydrated? I look so crazy and have to work on Rodeo Dr. tomorrow. :(

I've removed one and re-applied a new one. I think I had to wipe off a little bit of residue, but it was incredibly easy to clean off. I wouldn't worry about it.

It does not effect fast. For myself, I still feel it is working after 8 minutes (a very little bit of hurt) Depending on your skin but for my experience is: Just apply very thin at the areas you want to peel. Wash it off any time you want. After applying a week, I feel it peels well. I am happy with the result. Good luck to you

It burned the *expletive deleted* out of my face after about a minute. I left it in probably for about 3 minutes before I used baking soda to neutralize it. I would say do a test on your neck or something first because it was not my first peel I knew what to expect. What I do now is I only put it on areas that are uneven in tone or that have pimples and leave it for the full time (about 8-10 min) or as long as I can stand it LOL and then neutralize it. Follow up with a moisturizer for your skin type (I use pure argan oil from Morocco) and you're good to go! It is a pretty decent peel even if it burns a bit and it doesn't quite PEEL peel but you'll notice your skins clarity improves. Hope this helped!

Hi there..actually, I don't ever leave it on for it to get red...For me, I leave on for approx. 10-12 min. I've been use to this and I am Hispanic. I tend to wash with cool water and I can tell rather quickly I have a 'glow'. Now, about the 2nd or 3rd day, I am peeling just a bit. Not a lot, but a little exfoliation does take place. I hope this works for you. In fact, I have one more application and I need to order some more.

yes it is, I personally think you should go to a professional and get this done. I tried to do this at home and I left it on for 30 min and had to wash it off and it burned my face. This peel is very strong. I have sworn off of peels since. My face has since healed great. I use organic products now.

Hi. You don't have to buy anything besides the peel solution. I use Cellbone's ph neutralizer, which I apply after the allotted time for the peel, and then rinse with cold water, but some people just use soda and water. I noticed another reviewer uses a glycolic acid wash, which I'm not familiar with. You may find these products helpful in conjunction with the peel solution but they are not essential. Good luck!
